The video shows an animal activist requesting the woman to release the puppies locked inside the car. Reports suggest that the woman had kept the puppies confined for several days and was unwilling to set them free. The video claims that the woman had kept the puppies inside the car for the past four months. However, we are not sure if that is true or the reasons, if any, for doing so.

The social activist even touched the woman’s fee and requested her to free the puppies from the car. The incident unfolded on Republic Day 2024. The woman, accused of locking the puppies inside the car, was seen trying to touch the feet of the social activist and insisted on keeping the puppies in the car.

Despite the police accompanying the social activist and other women, the accused woman refused to co-operate. After a prolonged argument, the women accompanying the activist became forceful, breaking the rear windshield of the car to rescue the puppies. The video of the rescue operation garnered attention on social media, sparking outrage among netizens and animal lovers.

People often leave pets and children in cars

There have been several instances where parents have left their young children inside vehicles while shopping, and similar cases have been reported involving pets found inside locked cars.

This trend, common in many foreign countries, is rapidly catching up in India. Leaving a child or pet inside a locked vehicle without the AC running can be highly dangerous, as studies have shown that the temperature inside a vehicle parked under the sun, with windows closed and no AC, can rise significantly due to the greenhouse effect.

In just 10 minutes, the temperature can increase by 20 degrees, and an hour of exposure can raise it by 40 degrees. This quick temperature rise poses a serious risk, especially for children, as their bodies don’t cool down as rapidly as adults. This situation can lead to severe heatstroke and, tragically, even death. Similar risks apply to pets left unattended in hot vehicles.

In the Delhi incident, one good thing was that Delhi is quite cold right now – and temperatures inside the car was not likely to rise too much. Still, dogs have higher body temperatures than humans, and there is no such guarantee of safety.

 

We can only speculate on why the woman left the dogs locked up inside the car. Very often, dog owners become exasperated by all the work they have to do when they pets at home – taking them out to peep and poop, and making sure puppies do not damage important papers, shoes or furniture. Tired pet owners are often known to take their pets far away and abandon them on the road, leaving them to die under moving vehicles or due to starvation.

Leaving dogs locked up inside cars comes under animal cruelty laws and can attract fines and even jail time in India. However, these laws are seldom enforced by the police.
